Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

When you confessed, your team and one other close to them would die, yes?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Yes.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

So you ended up having a role in the deaths in the first round, but it's not your fault that it spiraled into something much worse.

I...I know it's difficult to not blame yourself, when you made the first mistake, but you shouldn't blame yourself for the actions everyone else took.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I know these Games. I should have...I should have seen how it would go.

It's what I grew up with.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

...Even a con can get conned, Roxy.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

People...falter. Make mistakes. It's only human, even when it seems we make them at the worst possible moments.

But you have friends.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I don't know why...

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

Even if you don't know why, they are people who have decided to care about you. At least try to have faith in that.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...it's hard...

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

But you've been happy with them, yes?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...yes...

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

Then hold onto that happiness. There must be a reason why they love you, even if you can't see it.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...maybe there is.

[And suddenly you're back in the Neighborhood with all the fire, on the street now.]

[There's a building collapsing near you, and an injured Carapacian is trying to get out of the way of it.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[WHY THIS

He's going to dive for the Carapacian and throw up a shield to protect both of them. PROTECT US SPACE.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Space alters, changes and....the wall that would have hit you turned out to be a broken open window. (It wasn't a broken open window a second again.)]

[Because the heart needed more looney toons.]

[You are not +1 flailing Carapacian.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[That works.

He's going to put down the Carapacian.]

Are you okay?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[So, this is probably weird, because the Carapacian never speaks.]

[But you find you can understand what that flailing means easily.]

"Nothing is okay! We are all going to die!"

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ Well this. This sure is an Experience. ]

Look, I'll try to get you somewhere safe. We can go to the laboratory.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Wait what.]

[YES.]

[Carapacian is all for this.]

[It's amazing how much offering safety and direction gets him to cool his tits.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ Obsidian will lead the way, then! ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Roll a ten sider.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ 3! ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[And you suddenly find yourself in the ring.]

[And oh wow.]

[Wow, probably familiar now, that is a lot of death by RED VINES everywhere for a good chunk of people in Kyriakos both past and present.]

[And there's Roxy whose just....sitting, staring at a dead Sparrow whose got vines and glass in her.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ At this point it's hard to not look at those vines without bracing himself for something really terrible. ]

...Roxy?
